November 14, 2005 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Google's (google.com) hosted analytics service is now available free of charge, just seven months after the technology was acquired from Urchin, which offered the service for $495 per month.
Google Analytics, formerly known as Urchin from Google, is analytical and statistical software used to monitor and track the performance of Web pages. The data collected with the technology helps businesses improve their Web sites and enhance their online marketing campaigns.
Google Analytics is now completely integrated with the pay-per-click advertising service Adwords. Accessible through customers' Adwords accounts, Google Analytics comes in sixteen languages and now includes new reporting dashboards.
"We want to give all online marketers and publishers access to powerful Web analytics to help them better understand what their customers want," says Paul Muret, Urchin founder and now engineering director for Google. "With this knowledge, businesses can create more accurate advertising and build better Web sites."

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next. In recent months we've been giving added attention to the kind of practical and applicable advice aimed at smaller hosts and resellers. This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
I was a little surprised by how difficult it became to see this idea through. We set out to assemble a blueprint for a small hosting business, but butted up pretty quickly against the general impossibility of covering all the territory that was out there to be covered. The basic constraints of a printed magazine, and the less-than-infinite amount of time we had available forced us to face the fact that we could never produce an exhaustive guide to starting a hosting company.
